The George Pickens conversation has ebbed and flowed throughout the Steelers’ offseason, with a current flow arising in the aftermath of their prospective trade for WR DK Metcalf. With the start of the new league year today, they are expected to make a move—quite a move. In exchange for Metcalf, they are giving up a second-round pick and giving him a $150 million, five-year contract.
Given that they have their presumed No. 1 WR locked up for the next half-decade, what next? The Steelers only control George Pickens through the 2025 season, and one wonders how he handles it.
